Hi, i am interested in getting birth/marriage/death and ww2 record (he was prisoner sometimes after March 1943 and then escaped) of my grandfather Filippo Barreca from Terranova Sappo Minulo. I'd also like info birth/marriages (2)/death of his father Francesco Barreca married to Filomena Nicolo from Taurianova (RC).

where do i start. I have contacted the commune in Terranova, but never heard back.
Many thanks in advance, it seems that you are very resourceful

Have you tried contacting the Australia archives sites for information? You can search as a guest and see if there is any information they can provide you with. Many of their documents contain pictures which is always helpful. www.naa.gov.au/collect...ng/search/

Also, do you have approx. birthdates for Filippo and Francesco? Filomena? When did they arrive in Australia?

hi Nuccia
thank you for your quick reply. They never came to Australia - My great grand father (Francesco) was going back and forth from Terranova to the states and i have seen a possible passenger record from him. his wife Filomena stayed in Terranova and never went to the States. I don't have date of birth for Francesco and Filomena. As for Filippo, i think he was born around 1912, but i am unsure. Filippo passed away in Nov 1987 in Terranava

Looks like Francesco was born about 1886 - he lists his wife Filomena on this ship manifest and going to see brother Vincenzo in West Virginia. in 1913. It also looks like its not his first trip - www.ellisisland.org/se...130567.TIF
